Festool PI567863, PN567863 Electronic control, Dust extraction, Attaching sanding material

The switch (1.1) acts as an ON / OFF switch (I = ON / 0 = OFF).

1.1

Electronic control

The RTS 400 EQ has an electronic control ELECTRONIC with which the rotational speed can be

varied step-free.

This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to the optimum level according to the material concerned (see "Working with the tool").

The speed is set using the rotary control button (2.1).

2.1

Dust extraction

Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of dust in the air in the working environment and dirt collecting in the workplace.

Inboard extraction

3.1	3.2	3.3	3.4
	3.5
	3.6		3.7
			3.8	3.9

The machines are fitted with inbuilt extraction as standard. The sanding dust is extracted through

suction openings in the sanding base (3.5) and trapped in the turbo-filter (3.4).

The turbo-filter has to be changed when it is so full of dust that the extraction power diminishes.

Inserting a turbo-filter

-Push the filter holder with its opening (3.2) as far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle (3.1) of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary knob (3.3).

-Push the front cardboard section of the turbo- filter with the sealing lip (3.7) onto the extraction nozzle (3.6) of the filter holder.

-Insert rear cardboard section with slot (3.9) onto the retaining strip (3.8) of the filter holder.

External extraction by

an extraction unit

4.1

In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbo- filter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is possible to connect a Festool extractor to the unit instead of using inbuilt extraction.

In this case, the extraction pipe (∅ 27 mm (4.1)) of the extraction unit is connected to the suction nozzle.

Attaching sanding material

Stickfix is a hook-and-loop fastening system. Stickfix sanding pads allow the use of self-adhesive hook-and-loop abrasives such as Stickfix sandpapers and sanding cloths.

5.2

5.1

Simply press the abrasive (5.1) onto the sanding pad (5.2) and pull it off again after use.

Please note: Use only abrasives with an undamaged Stickfix hook-and-loop coating. Before use, check that the coating has not been damaged by improper use (such as overheating).
